LiveJournal Is Down

by Bryan

According to LiveJournal Status Report: LiveJournal has lost power to its servers and is working to correct the situation.

This has nothing to do with the Blogger problems, or the elections. There is nothing to see here citizens. So, move along and take your stainless steel colanders™^Anya with you.

Update: At least some of LiveJournal is back.

1 Servers « Radio Matthew { 11.04.06 at 6:17 pm }: […] Hello to all of you who are reading this blog in lieu of LiveJournal’s servers being down. In an event that mirrored the Great LJ Blackout of 2005, LiveJournal’s servers suffered a massive power outage last night around 2AM. This means my main blog (the one that’s kept from public eye and viewable only to about a hundred or so people) is currently kaput while LiveJournal’s parent company, SixApart, works “around the clock” to fix the server issues.

Sudden growth is a killer in the network business. No matter what the literature says scaling up always causes problems.

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

John Rogers

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

Sir Terry Pratchett
